Cenote
The retrieval from the bottom of an uncharted Maya cenote of a gold bead shaped after a frog sends world-renowned museographer Robert Garvin on a frenzy for original Maya art to display in his museums pursuant an agreement with the Mexican government for a share of the profits.
In no time, expedition manager Harold Ross cobbles up on Garvin’s behalf an archaeological expedition to Yucatan. Ross flies in postgraduate students Ann Kaplan and Neal Child, who carry an experimental technology capable of reading glyphs caked in carbonate deposits. Ross also hires controversial archaeologist Mike Trenton, fired from his teaching position for a preposterous paper on waterways connecting ancient Maya cities.
Overnight, as Ross’s new acquisitions arrive at the site and the up-and-coming enterprise faces logistical issues caused by an obscure entity that slays the expedition members, Professor Trenton and Kaplan turn to an inscription wall for clues on the identity of the slayer.

About the author
Marco Guarda
47 books7 followersI've been writing little things for myself and for my friends for ages, but it wasn't since 2006 that I started writing consistently.
Three of my screenplays have placed and even earned some prizes at various competitions. Credence Foundation, born as a screenplay, hence born visually, has been turned into a book. Hoping it sees the light as a Sci-Fi / Action movie one day, I've started expanding my stories in the many branches of Science Fiction.
Feel free to join me in this crazy journey through the mind, the subconscious, technology, and mankind's fears and hopes, of course.
